When installing an amp...

I have no earthly idea how adult men fit in there. Can't even get my ribcage through - wife crawled right in (thank god).
 
All I know if it wasn't for his skinny ass id still be running wires!!
 
You are not doing that in an e series boat. lol
 
Gotta remember he is in that space on a 21ft boat...o_O
 
Isn't this what kids are for?
 
'Cept now all my kids are bigger than I am... <sigh>
 
Height isn't my problem... I can't get my shoulders in some of this areas.. I have tried... Luckily I have small kids... They call it being luggage because they enter in the conpartments and crawl out of site to the back and hang wires! It takes a village to raise a boat!
 
@bronze_10, thats the issue I have, Im what you might call stocky so just getting my shoulders and chest in there is an issue

Sweat dripping in your eyes as you try to see something you can't because you wear glasses.:( Its tough working in the cramped spaces. I'm glad I"m done with my amp install and all the other wiring.

LMAO. Just trying to imagine @mattschepker in that helm compartment.
I think one of your legs would fit, maybe?

I don't have a picture of my big ass stuffed in the rear seat storage. I was too busy trying to stay alive and breath calmly :D
